Today is a VERY sad day, our chicks go back to the farm 😭

It's been an incredible experience watching them hatch, grow, and become part of our everyday routine.

Despite the worry, stress, and a fair few sleepless nights...it always feels worth it when parents tell us the children haven't stopped talking about the chicks at home and seeing them rush in to check on them in a morning.

So many people have shared that they still remember having chicks when they were at school, a real reminder that what we do and expose children to, can have a life long impact!

We'll miss our fluffy little friends 😭 Safe travels back to the farm, chicks! 🐣

It's been a very EGGiting week...our eggs have finally hatched! 🐣 Thankfully they weren't the dinosaur eggs some children were wishing for! As if we didn't already have enough little ones to care for....we've welcomed SIX fluffy new additions to the family. 🙈

The children are in their element, spending their day checking in on them and they've been helping to top up their feed and water - learning all about the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet.

🍓 Strawberry Planting Fun! 🌱

The children had a great time planting out our strawberry plants today. We talked about how the pretty white flowers will eventually drop off, and in their place our strawberries will begin to grow!

With a bit of sunshine and plenty of care, we’re hoping for a lovely harvest this year.... maybe even enough to make some strawberry jam for the Pen*stone Show after the judges comments our blackberry jam received from the judges in 2025! 💁‍♀️🤞
